Hello i was wondering if the above ROM updates will work on my QTEK 1010:
ROM Version: 3.16.13 ENG
Radio Version: 3.19.01
I mean anyone tested if before or managed to upgrade his QTEK with the above ROM versions from O2 and were there any complications!!
:?: :?: :? :?: :?:
Thanks

Yes I did and it worked fine. I have it running on T-Mobile MDA, Qtek 1010 and Eurotel dataphone (rebranded Qtek). No problems.

I tried to upgrade and got the following error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ROM Image that you are trying to upgrade is not compatible to your pocket pc.
Here are there differences:
Your device information:
ModelW10A:007
ROM Version: 3.16
Language: English
Your upgraded image information
ModelW10A:001
ROM Version: 3.15
Language: English
Please download the compatible utility and try again
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So where is the problem?
Thanks

It has been answered a few times, look through fora. it's a general pocket pc language change question, but applies to this one too. You need to rewrite the ROM header to match your device. Can be sort of tricky if you don't know what you're doing.

Did you install it
I have the same qtek with 3.16 and 3.19 shall I do it or wait to uk version?

If you don't mind O2 startup screen & O2 autoconfig...

supplier or distributor

Hi,
My advise to you is to try to get the latest rom upgrade from
either your supplier or distributors.
Also be very wary and careful when you got advice from this
forum on where or which website to download etc especially the
one which you do not have any informations if it suit your device
or not. If it is not suitable then after downloading it to your device
it will freeze up and you have to get it replaced. These people who
give advise take for granted everyone who view this forum are
professional like them. They never realise there are lots of new
users of the device that are trying to find out more informations.
Sometimes no warning was given to you when they just give you
the website to download etc.. I am one of those new user and also
I believe one of the victims too. I do support their intetests in this
forum but not the way some of the advise are given. Hope they
got the message. So good luck to you and happy upgrading.

Why on earth would you want to go from 3.16/3.19 to 3.15/4.16? Makes no sense to me...

bamse: because it's better

I'am used xda radio upgrade 4.16.00 with qtek
it is fine

o2 1.72WWE to 02 1.66WWE

If i upgrade my 02 xda II 1.66WWE to o2 XDA II v1.72WWE, can i back it to 1.66wwe again? if i had reset do you think it will back to 1.66wwe? thanks i need an asap response i will upgrade it now. thanks

Sorry not a reply to your question.
I was wondering wher you downloaded teh o2 XDA II v1.72WWE rom.
I have the 1.66 ROM at the moment

ooppsssss
I think i made a mistake. Look my xda II is o2 the rom version is 1.66WWE, but when i went to the www.myxda.com where the official o2 xda II website i saw their new rom update i saw this:
*************************
For English ROM
ROM version: 1.60.00 WWE
Radio version: 1.08.00
ExtROM version: 1.60.44
MMS Client: 1.6.0.8
*************************
Thats their lates rom the 1.60.00 but why mine is 1.66WWE. My xda II is o2? why? Do you think my rom is i-mate and the o2 is only the device, maybe the device is o2 and the rom is i-mate? wich means i can upgrade my 1.66 to 1.72 without any problem or any o2 data loses, right?

you have a newest 1.66 rom for asian, but this rom is not for public consumption.
if you upgrade to 1.72 rom, you will loose original rom & VOID GUARANTEE.
think about that!!!!!!

hi 004,
i think you posted a lot of threads like this, well im not a moderaor, so ok lang. hehehe.
with regards to your question, here goes.
I think you just got your unit, its from smart or globe right, from their promo, then if it is, its version O2 1.66 WWE, its the latest release from O2 Asia, although this version is not so good and stable version, you might encounter a lot of hard resets along the way, so use BACKUP, any will do, ACTIVESYNC BACKUP will suffuce.
for now, you need to know that:
1. O2 ASIA 1.60 WWE is the most stable version but lacks some upgrades.
2. O2 ASIA 1.66 WWE is complete but not particularly stable.
3. O2 ASIA 1.72 WWE does not exist YET, 1.72 is available for Imate or T-mobile versions but not for O2 YET.
O2 1.72 WWE is desirable however there is no upgrade yet from O2 (www.myxda.com), if you want, install the 1.72 of either Imate or T-mobile, but IF you will be encountering problems later, SMART or GLOBE will not be able to help you and IT is DIFFICULT to revert back to 1.60 or 1.66 O2 version.
So my advise is, IF you dont like the 1.66 O2 version for any reason at all, TRY the O2 1.60 older but better version, just backup your EXT ROM and bring over some files and installers from the 1.66 version that are missing in the 1.60 version.
IF YOU get tired of the 1.60 version, you can always revert back to the 1.66 version by upgrading.
OR you could wait for the 1.72 version from O2 when available.
Maayong Gabii!
Magandang Gabi!

New purchase - I'm confused

I've just purchased an XDA IIi in Australia
ROM Version 1.11.00 WWE
ROM Date 01/27/05
Radio version 1.00.00
Protocol Version 1337.39
ExtROM version 1.11.923 WWE
I've been following a number of posts on upgrading rom (more stability, better performance) and upgrading Radio (better signal strength) but I'm confused.
1. What will I gain from upgrading? Will I see any real benefit?
2. Will the posted upgrades work for my Australian XDAIIi
3. Has anyone in Aus done any upgrades - is it hard/safe?
I'm keen to get the best from my device but don't want to screw it up. Anyone who can offer advice/guidance to a newbie would be doing me a real favour.
Thanks

The first thing is that there are 3 seperate ROM's in the XDA2i;
1. OS/boot ROM - Normally Windows 2003SE. Not much choice here!
2. Extended ROM - Operator specific software and customisations
3. Radio ROM - The bit that deals with the GSM and GPRS (phone)
What you will gain from an upgrade basically depends on what you need. Upgrades provided by your operator will normally add additional or updated software packages or patches to fix problems that have been reported to the operator.
In reality though, the updates provided by the operators will not be ideal. For example, O2 until recently were still providing Radio ROM v1.00.00, whereas 1.04.00 has been available for some time now. They have added Blackberry support in the recent Extended ROM version 1.11.169, but I don't use blackberry. Therefore the O2 ROM updates are of no use to me.
Thus I took the Radio 1.04.00 ROM from this site, and modified the 1.11.162 ROM provided by O2 (also downloadable from this site) to suit my needs and installed the resultant ROM images on my PDA.
In your case, you appear to be using Radio 1.00.00. So you will certainly benefit from upgrading to Radio 1.04.00, because this fixes some serious stability problems which caused the PDA to crash when using certain SD cards.
As for the extended ROM, you could install one of the many examples available on this site, but beware that if you choose a ROM designed for a different operator, many settings will be different, so SMS/MMS/WAP/GPRS etc may not work properly unless you know how to configure them manually.
There are lots of instructions and programs in these forums to help you make a customised extended ROM should you want to. But don't be afraid to ask if you want help - better to ask than have a broken PDA!
hope at least some of this makes sense!

thanx in advance
regards majnnuu

no one to help me??????????????

Here ya go....
1) Correct. You can't upgrade your 2i to WM5.
2) I would recommend downloading one of pug's ROMs. You can find them here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Alpine/O2_Roms_Camera_Fixed_Bug/
If you hate the o2 active stuff, then download the one marked "o2stripped" (I would recommend this one). If you like the o2 active stuff, then download the other.
3) The latest Radio ROM available for the 2i is version 1.04. If you upgrade your ROM using one of pug's rom, then your radio will automatically be updated to version 1.04.
Justin
BTW, I think your device is an Alpine, not an Andes.

Got a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with.
I was updating my rom and it all went wrong. When I turn my xda2i on now I get the normal setup then its goes to a black screen with serial written on it (or usb if it is in the cradle), and apart from that it does nothing.
My laptop no longer recorgnises the device so I can't restore the old rom or restart the process????
Can anyone help please?

tez,
You're in what is called "Bootloader". You're OK. You can do one of two things:
1) Simply re-attempt to "reflash your ROM" with one of the ROMs you downloaded.
2) Reflash your ROM with a ROM update provided your manufacturer. I couldn't get my device to update with one of pug's rom (it go stuck around 18%) so I had to reflash my Alpine with an original ROM released from a manufacturer.
Hope this helps.

Upgrading from O2 Orbit 2 German to WWE, which one?

Hi,
I just bought an O2 Orbit 2 on ebay from a german retailer (BTW price inclusing shipment 469 Euro). Of course the Windows Mobile is in German and TOMTOM 6 is with german maps.
Would like to change the operating system into WWE. So far I am a bit reluctant since terrible experience I had with my previous HTC Tytn changing the O.S., which was:
1) First the camera didn't work at all
2) Camera worked, mobile office didn't work
3) Mobile office worked, reception was less good then original O.S.
At the end I got an "original" WWE O.S. from HTC website for Tytn and I was half happy (everything worked except Camera which not always worked).
Based on this experience I'm willing to upgrade to a new ROM/O.S. for my O2 Orbit 2, only if it is perfectly working, in your opinion what is the best solution for me?
A) Keep my german ROM and wait availability from O2 for an official WWE ROM
B) Download official O2 WWE ROM from this site ____________
C) Go ahead and download _____________ ROM WWE from this site ____________
Thanks for the answer

I'm not an expert but with a little search:

Many people says that Bepe's and udK's Rom are marvelous......I think you'll have to try and decide yourself, like me in near future

Bepe and udK are in fact nicely done.
If it's just about the language, then use the default and official WWE HTC ROM which can be found on the xda-dev ftp server.
Just in case, because so many already ****** up their device up by not reading instructions and doing it wrong: whatever you do, do the HardSPL first.

Couldn't wait for the link to official WWE, so I downloaded and installed Bepe's instead.
It works great.
Sorry just got very frustrated in my previous rom upgrading experience with Tytn (and I did read ALL the instructions first, to no avail)

Wait for link? I said the xda-dev ftp server. I strongly believe a user should find the servers address itself. Links to the server are all over the place and theres even a wiki-entry. Or just go to google and type xda-developers ftp server. ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Polaris
